I am a beginner at lucid dreaming. I only discovered conscious dreaming a few weeks ago. I have been trying to consciously dream but have been unsuccessful. I perform several RCs each day and go to sleep thinking about becoming aware in my dreams. I listen to sleep sounds which has helped me to remember all my dreams. I have several dreams every night. But lately every dream has been a bad dream, zombies, bear attacks, bullies, monsters, etc. every night I have multiple night terrors. Normally I wouldn't mind in fact I enjoy night terrors just as much as any other dream but the fact that I can't dream of anything else makes me more desperate than ever to learn to control my dreams or dream reentery so I can find out the meaning. Why do I only have bad dreams? What are they trying to tell me? Or is it random? I've tried listen to different sleep sounds to see if it would help but it hasn't. I started pursuing my dreams so I could use them to better my life and become more spiritually connected. I new it would be difficult and fully expect years of training but I thought that I would at least have been able to become aware by now. I know that even once you become aware it is difficult to stay in the dream and stay aware. But I read that just reading about lucid dreaming can cause a lucid dream. I am frustrated. It has been several weeks and I have been completely unsuccessful. Please help. I do not want to revert to using drugs. I want to do this naturally.
